of my stay would scarcely be believed.
After almost cutting people in pieces and
putting them together again, and keep
ing them in bed a couple of weeks they
turn out well cured. And it is done so
easily. The simplest remedies possible
and system and regularity in every detail
are strictly observed. The service is ad-
nirable. Only trained and experienced
nurses, male and female, are employed,
and then the conveniences and paraph-
ernalia are so perfect. The ambulance
comes and goes and brings patient after
patient. If their injuries are
slight the wounds are dressed
and they are sent away: if seri-
Gus, they are Immediately taken TO the
operating room, and from thence to the
wards. No questions are asked, no Cos
siping is allowed, and one of the nurses
said to me, when she thought I was too
inquisitive: we are here to work and not
to talk
"One day noticed unusual excitement
among the orderlies, and my nurse III
formed me she would have to leave me
for couple of hours in charge of the
nurse from the next ward. A middle
aged gentleman suffering from cancer
on his tongue had entered the hospital to
be operated upon. The seriousness of
the case caused the fiutter of excitement
among the nurses. The scent of ether
was in the air, and we knew the
new patient was being conveyed
to the operating room. Two hours
passed and she did not return
Another hour and the orderlies bore
him to his room. The operation had
been entirely successful. Some of the
teeth were extracted and the under jaw
had to be saved apart in sections and
turned town over the neck, while about
two-thirds of the tongue and roots were
removed; then the separated jaw was re-
united, the head and face bandaged, and
two hours after he was sleeping like
babe.
''The service in frst-class hospital, it
seems to me, is the best medical and sur
gical skill that science can command.
The great benevolence and self denial
with which the physicians work in such
institutions are to be greatly admired.
l want to say to all who are afflicted that
to be conveyed to a hospital is by no
means to be conveyed to the grave.

Some Remarkable Work Done With Surgeons.

Some remarkable Work Done with surgeons.
Knives.
New York Mail and Express
A woman who was private patient for
several weeks in a leading hospital in this
city, consented to tell reporter some in
teresting facts in regard to the opera
instances of medical and surgical skill.
The lady was never in a hospital before,
and was quite curious to ooserve the &C.
tlons of patients, nurses and surgeons.
She had an interesting experience with
her next door neighbor, who was suffer
ing from dementia. The second night of
her stay he jumped out of bed ans ran
into the ward shouting ''murder!' and
"police!" until half the hospital
was aroused, and nurses and attendants,
Orderlies and doctors came rushing TIC
the scene. AS that weird cry of
murder rang and echoed through the long
halls and corridors the effect was remark
able. An engineer Ia one of the private
rooms, with crushed head and almost
senseless, ceased his low means of pain
and listened. He had been brought to
the hospital two days before after falling
down an elevator shaft and striking on
his head, sustaining an injury which, up
on examination, proved to be compound
fracture of the skull. A very skillful OPP
Grafton was performed by the attending
surgeons. His brains were entirely re-
moved and broken pieces of the skull ex
tracted, and the uninjured portions of
the brain returned to their place. Even
the little 3-months-old babe brought
there with club feet, now straight
ened with brace and bandage,
ceased its wailings of pain and lis
tened too. A little 3-year old boy with
broken leg, who had been moaning all
day and calling for his mother, hushed
his cries, and, clutching the bedclothes,
lay with wide open eyes the remainder of
the night. In the woman's ward was
poor creature who had fallen from
fourth-story window. breaking both legs,
three ribs, and sustaining internal hi ur
les. The sound of the alarm below par
TALLY aroused her from her lethargy. and
she began calling for the little children
who were playing on the floor of her ten
ement room when she fell. Although ev-
e-ything was done for her at the hospi
tai, the poor woman died the next day.
The old man was finally coaxed back to
his room, and the door locked this time
to prevent another escapade.
''It is astonishing" said the lady, "to
witcess what is accomplished in difficult
surgery at the hospitals, even in these
days of scientific discoveries and achieve
ments. If should tell one-half of what
saw and heard during the three weeks

Biushing A Disease.
New Orleans Picayuue.

Blushing is disease. Ne one blushes
for shame. While the woman of the
world may wear cheeks of marble, the
innocent country lass is made red by be-
ing looked at. The perjurer tells his
story without change of color, the
honest witness is flushed and confused
by the lawyer who is hired to suppress
truth in courts of justice. Countless
roses are said to blush unseen. They are
very foolish. Politicians never blush,
but they grow red in the face over the
spirit of the campaign, and claim modes
ty as an inheritance.

A Short-H Haul Affair.
New York Sun.

From the men who raise wheat to the
men who run clrcuses, the industrial
interests of the country are clamoring for
| relief from the onerous provisions of the
interstate commerce act. Nothing like
it was ever seen in this or any other land,
for the simple reason that no such exper-
iment in the way of paternal legislation
was ever before undertaken in free
country.
The people who cried loudest for the
passage of the Reagan Cullom bill, as
measure of protection to honest pro-
ducers against the power of oppressive
corporations, are now openly charging
that the law is drawn in the interest of the
railroad companies and devised by them,
to be an instrument of futher oppression
and extortion.
In one respect, however, the act is a
great success. 1t illustrates in striking
way what we might expect if that theory
should temporarily prevail which assigns
to the government the full CONTROL not on
ly of transportation, but of trade and of
employment and of rents and of all the
other matters now regulated by the I'M
written laws of supply and demand.
If the operation of the law of nature
governing the movements of the planets
and stars could be suddenly supended,
and the whole business of regulating the
universe intrusted to commission of
astronomers, equipped with nautical al
MANAGES and table of logarithums, the lat
ter would find themselves in plight not
very much worse than that of the mem
bers of the interstate commerce comis-
sion.
1t is heavy load that these gentlemen
have to carry, if they do their duty under
the law. Fortunately for them and for
everybody else, it will be short haul.

Street-Car Horses.
Rochester PoSt-EXpreSs,

eyes, the horses of the street car COM
pany are pretty good animals, and they
receive pretty good care. They don't
look as well this spring as they usually
do at this time of the year. You see
summer shoes were put on the horses in
March and the company got caught. We
had lot of slippery weather after that
and it pulled the flesh right off the horses.
The company is pretty lucky with its
horses and doesn't have to kill more than
two or three every year. I have known
years when not more than one horse was
killed. The fact is, the health of the
horse depends altogether on the of a
driver it has. 1t isn't true that pulling a
car kills horse. Now have had horses"
continued the driver, with a pardonable
degree of pride, "that looked better after
I had driven them five years than they
ever did before. If man makes them
yank car when it starts it takes the
flesh off them in hurry. Some drivers
don't water their horses regularly. Now
it doesn't make any difference to me
whether I am on time or three hours late,
my horse gets his drink. I find a horse
will pull his car better if he isn't out of
water"

SPRING.

Spring. with that nameless pathos in the air
Which dwells with all thing fair;
Spring. with her golden suns and silver rain,

Out in the woods the jasmine burns
Its fragrant lamps, and turns
Into royal court with green festoons
The banks of dark lagoons.
In the deep heart of every forest tree
The blood is all aglee,
And here's look about the leaf1ess bowers
AS il they dreamed of flowers.

NON. C. II. j. TAYLOR.

he above named gentleman,
United States Minister to Liberia is
10 our city and has paid the TRIBUNE
a call. He has been extensively
advertised lately and has gained
considerable notoriety on account
of bis peculiar views relative to the
race.
Mr.. Taylor is genuine Negro
democrat and as such be makes him
self very interesting object. He
objects to beirg called "colOred"
and says he il Negro and black
man. notwithstanding he is mulat.
TO all the same. he says that the
white man is properly "colored"
~ an, and not the black man. He
has done some very lard work tor
the democratic party in South Caro-
lima. aud helped to place that un-
fortunate State in the hands oi
Bourbon ballot box suffers that now
disgrace it, and yet he thinks he has
helped his race in SO doing.
The minister has spent bat a few
months inLiberia and condemns that
country and ils people. He says
tie people are lazy, vulgar. incom-
petent and IN the lowest degree OF
immortality. Society is 3 big thing
he says. Some dress very extrava.
gantly at balls and receptions. while
some others presen. would have on
only a collar and an overcoat, and
the women are contented with q
girdle of beads about the size of
watch cnain. The government of
Liberia he considers disgrace to
civilization and he feels it to be his
mission 10 EXPOSE it and the utter
worthlessness of the people. To fact
u Mr.. Ian 10, is correct, the inhab-
itants If the Only COLO eu AZ puolc
in lhe world are better Il ted 10 be
termed beasts than hnman beings.
OF course MIR. Taylor makes AID
ex.parte statement and it il more
tran likely hat the Liberians will
be heard from in regards to bis
structures on their country ut very
early date.
Mr.. Taylor is very affabIe aud
entertaining geDrleman however.
H lived IN Savannah many years
ago and was a newsbov. He would
probably have cen selling the TRI-
BuNE then but for the accursed
policy Of the pa ~ ne represents
which prevented the Negro from
being educated by the iron shsckles
OF slavery.
Mi. Taylor " i'll speak in our city
next Tuesday night and he will be-
attentively listened to. The TRIBUNE
believes that our people should list
en- TO Democrats rs well rs Repuh-
licans and always be govern by the
eternal principles of ruth. 1t is not
= crime tor q Negro to he n Demo-
Graf; he hss as much right to his
opinion as white man and should
always maintain them on all proper
occasions. Mr.. Taylor Il entitled to
lair hearing. He will give the
Negro some hard blows, while be no
doubt loves his race ss he says. BE
is an intelligent man and expects
and will receive the most unmerci
full excavations from the Negro
leaders OF the country.
1t is safe to say that Mr.. Taylor
will not succeed in his course in the
South. BE will receive the adula-
tions of Bourbon Democrats, but
will make no converts among color
ed men.
